I should have went with my gut feeling when I went to Mom's Flowers. The worker's there were pushy and rude. I shouldn't have went with my gut and left before putting down payment. The worker's are rude and try to make you feel in superior.
After booking them for my wedding (Which consisted of an outdoor reception, no flowers needed for the ceremony, just 3 bouquets, 8 boutonnieres, and lilies for 10 tables and cost $800!) I heard from a woman at work that she used Mom's flowers and half of them were dead the day of her wedding. I read reviews online and got the same feedback so I went back to Mom's flowers with my concern. This time they were nice as could be. The insured me that my flowers would be just fine.
The day of my wedding came, and yes the flowers were alive and the centerpieces looked great, but the boutonnieres and bouquets were NOT what I had been promised. I could not believe how skimpy they were for the price I paid. I really felt ripped off.
Two months later a friend of mine got married. She like the design on my bouquet (different from my skimpy bridesmaid ones, but still not the four feet they promised... more like 1 foot.....) so she got just her bouquet from Mom's. Well, she should have voiced concern like I did, because when she picked up her bouquet, half of the roses were dead. She had to pick them out and replace them with flowers she bought separately.
I honestly believe that if I had not gone in and voiced my concern about getting dead flowers, I would have gotten dead flowers. I really would discourage anyone from getting wedding flowers done here. If you do not want to stress over having dead wedding flowers, please choose a different florist.
And in response to the post by JAYDEE.... I don't agree that the negative posts regarding Mom's are all by Bridezillas..... I was far from being a 'princess bride'. Seriously.. how many bridges choose to have a $3k wedding? Yep, no bridezilla here, just a bride who got gipped on flowers. I guess JAYDEE doesn't realize how lucky she got. I really believe she is one in few that were happy with their experience at Mom's.
